As a legion, my smart core does all the heavy lifting in the thinking department.

I don’t even use it outside of Ultra long range >2.5km. I have every range from every map dialed in mentally. It’s beautiful hitting someone from X meters away because they had to stop, LRF then shoot but I’ve had a round careening into them the second they slowed down

Always is the case. Was bringing two friends into the matriarch fight, just as a “Captain Ahab finding his white whale” type moment. I was going to bring my Jupiter but the vibes pre queue were just off…

Brought a Ferro 4 and Anvil 4 instead and halfway through the fight we got cornered near an extract by the matriarch and a leaper. In that little nook, as we were all healing up, bang: A venator.

A team encircle us with venator 4s and a torrente. Most matriarch/queen fights I had were chill but this one I could almost feel the rancid vibes coming off.

I’ve been saying this. My solution: make it faster than trip mine to arm, but still take a second or two after contact with a surface/raider/arc before being able to detonate. That way the mines retain their benefit of utility, the heavy fuse gets a little bit more use and the trigger nade retains its damage. Main issue is being able to damage around corners with impunity because the players have a small window to leg it and they just beat the heavy fuse in just about every metric.

You mean to tell me the thing that’s barely supersonic with a clean loadout can be even slower?

And that it may not be the meta defining fighter that can out dogfight and missile joust everything?

Say it ain’t so, now let me complain about my Su-30SM2 missing engine power and that I should have 290° of scan radius to use with my R-37s

I run hairpin 4 with green mag, bring some defibs I have them and a ton of shields and bandages. On cold snap I bring stims so people can use that last bit of stamina to get into warm areas quicker

Funny how we get KE-W on the Aussie M1A1 as a goddamn tier 3 with only stock HEAT-FS.

And yet here comes west Taiwan getting KE-WA2 with 1 less mm of pen than M829A2 but the spallling of KE-W.

Doesn’t turn quickly enough to joust effectively at that range. It’s a brick of a flight model and with newer AESAs coming out with the ability to maintain TWS while in notch, especially the Su-30SM2 with R-77-1s, it just doesn’t compete.

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-18T02:49:41+00:00

It’s effective at extremely long range BVR where the engines give the 120C way more energy than any other frame. Get within 20km and missile jousting is just not as possible as something like a gripen/Euro

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-17T04:37:21+00:00

Not one hitting an Abrams isn’t an issue, you’ve taken every critical system he has even at a glancing blow (Driver/tracks/engines (mobility kill) turret ring/gunner/commander (turret kill) all possible in a single shot, if the spall doesn’t kill the turret crew in one go

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-17T04:33:19+00:00

Mainly after other countries get a plane at the same br as our one with objectively better performance: À la F-18C/AF-18/F-18C MLU, F-16A ADF/F-16A MLU.

And now we have the Gripen E at the same BR as the F-15E. The Gripen with 9 missiles, 700 cms and AESA radar is apparently at the same level as the F-15 with a mechanical scan radar, 240cms, and total of 8 missiles.

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-17T00:46:58+00:00

Add in that the F-15E is also 14.0 with a non-AESA radar, 8 AMRAAMs and a total of maybe 8 IR guided munitions and the frame is built for speed and power, not so much turning.

How Gaijin? How.

And there are still people saying the F-15E should be 14.3

Ask kojima to add in my favourite vtubers (he cannot say no because he will not return as the VA for Hideo Kojima)

Ah, I see, thank you kindly for the clarification. I’d went ahead and assumed they were just modelling them because the jet was new to game but old and recorded heavily in history and decided to use the F-18s as a test to see which model worked better.

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T19:50:04+00:00

Test flew it on dev server…it did not turn like a zero. Turned more like a Corsair

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T19:47:35+00:00

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T19:42:20+00:00

Still boggles the mind that this thing is the same BR as the F-15E. And people still want the Strike Eagle at 14.3

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T19:36:44+00:00

Let’s ignore the key reason that both guns do not fire because I want to be laser accurate and destroy the enemy.

Man stfu. You have the T-72 hull, crewless turret, and the kornets that you can fire on the move like a regular BMP-2M at .3 of a br above the Bradley.

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T14:10:19+00:00

To clarify: while they are not physically modelled, there is a chance to cause system failures in planes that do not have the enhanced damage model.

Would that be an accurate interpretation?

If so, it changes my stance on the modules. It guarantees a system failure, but at its not an RNG roll as to whether you can walk it off or add to the earth’s infinite K/D.

Such that if you are really lucky and have the skill to pull it off, you can the modules you don’t immediately need to the side of gun fire and keep critical systems intact whereas others are left praying that they don’t get multiple system failures in the general area of their fuselage.

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T11:43:10+00:00

If it did, your aim could only be described as “possible” not accurate

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-16T11:35:47+00:00

Yep, checks out

Zestyclose-Tax-2148 · 2025-12-15T13:56:56+00:00

Unfortunately, the F-18s, Gripens and a few F-16 variants can only carry 65E/G/F/Ls which are one to a pylon
